L'Roneous Da'Versifier - A Place Called This lyrics

* DJ scratches "the lesson of the day" while L'Ron talks over intro * [L'Ron] Damn.. I had this dream.. It was.. I don't know man it was out there.. .. but it was right here.. I don't know how to describe it.. Hmm.. Long ago I dreamt, of a place called this I thought my mind shift, I was blinded by some twisted sh** You see there was a wicked overlord That regulated over blackboards No one ever saw him But his henchmen stalked the land and damaged The minds of my own kind, blind to the ways Of the overlord that overforced the acts that pa**ed led By the mentally dead, forcefed this propaganda Demanding stand tall - man do as I say, or crawl This is your reality - echoed through my sleepy dream People scream, silent cries, echoed by - homicide Rates, increasing, no ceasing the silence Violence is a mental thing, the pendulum swings But something wicked this way comes, murmurs through the slums Some claim to be a player, but in this game, we all pawns All spawn, by the overlord We overcame on a petty four-score Of ancient folklore, but the overlord kept plottin Take, and I'll give you all the ROTTEN things I've gotten Cause it's hot, in this hell on earth Where you ain't worth a nickel And you can't even see the sh** that makes your cells go sickle While fickle f**ers who don't follow strive for dyin quick El-imination tactics practiced by those wack a** henchmen Yeah then, you tell them I got plans for when it's finished Cause this ain't just a dream, and a place called this exists This ain't just a dream, and a place called this exists This ain't just a dream, and a place called this exists A placed called this exists, a place called this exists A placed called this exists.. not only in the mind.. (not only in the mind) But within the definitive lines of our cities.. (of our cities) And their guidelines.. structured through time.. (structured through time) By the blind, who thought they had been given DEVINE, rights of pa**age.. (rights of pa**age) But see the fight continues.. And yet it's only gettin ma**ive, now Probe for a sec while we detect the sites of evil The gra** ain't even greener cause the barriers are see-through And we do, those deeds that heed or cause all of our flaws And the overlord ain't fictitious, the overlord's our laws Or their laws, that tear all of us, in this perilous Plot that got some peoples heated but you'll never read it In the paper, the caper's much too deep to leave to y'all man I seen it all, mirrored by the blemished image of created equal Or religion mixed with government A puzzlement, incentives intent to k** minds Build ties through lies and they can't stop, won't stop Look at all those black cops flocked on the block just to mock Those locked, in concrete cages You should've peeped the stages This ain't just a dream, and this sh** is quite amazing Now some ain't even fazed by today's mental plague But I guess it ain't contagious.. The symptoms of racist behavior, racist behavior These are all symptoms of racist behavior Racist behavior, racist behavior These are all symptoms of racist behavior A place called this.. exists..
